Description: Bagels With is sort of a local legend around these parts . . . so much so that readers of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel voted it the best bagel place in Delray. It’s spot with a fiercely loyal clientele, some of whom have been gathering here for years. All the old deli favorites are here: bagels, melts (tuna and otherwise), egg sandwiches, salads, soups, specialty sandwiches piled high with your favorite meats, and desserts such as rugalach and black-and-white cookies. And there are some rather unorthodox touches, as well. For example, you can create your own salad—called the fancy schmancy chopped salad. Customers here swear by the bagel dogs. And the turkey pesto sandwich has always been a big seller, with grilled honey-cured turkey, roasted red peppers, romaine lettuce, tomato, melted provolone, and pesto aioli on a grilled kaiser roll. No liquor, beer, or wine.
